Donovan's Brain Page #7

---

Mr. Donovan

intends to dominate

the international

financial scene,

and a fatal accident will occur

to all who happen

to stand in his way.

Good day, sir.

A fatal accident will occur

to anyone who stands in his way.

Frank and Janice...

They stand in my way.

Pat made that recording

while the brain

was destroying yocum.

That proves the brain

can only dominate

one person at a time.

But at the rate it's growing,

do you think

that'll always be so?

Who knows?

Honestly, Jan,

we shouldn't wait.

Any minute now,

that thing may get the power

to paralyze us all.

You have another plan?

Mm-hmm, but I don't want

to discuss it in here.

Let's step outside.

Why all the way out here?

I don't know.

I feel better outside.

Jan, pat may never

get away from the brain.

It's up to us now.

But pat wouldn't harm us.

Donovan would... the minute

we get in his way.

But murder... i can't

believe that pat...

But yocum's death

was no accident.

Donovan engineered it.

Then the same thing

could happen to us.

Donovan could kill us

the same way he killed yocum.

That's right,

and it's too dangerous

to wait any longer.

Now, when pat gets back home,

it's up to you to keep him

outside here.

Hold him.

Make him angry...

So angry the brain

won't know what I'm doing.

Well, what's that?

I'll be in the laboratory.

Oh, it's a nightmare.

Do you think it'll work?

It has to, Jan.

The brain is very powerful,

but we know

it can only concentrate

on one thing at a time.

We've proved that

over and over again.

Frank...

What'll happen to pat?

I mean, if we kill the brain...

The brain is Donovan.

Frank...

Has Donovan become

so much a part of pat?

I mean, could pat die?

Who knows?

This whole thing

is beyond experience.

It's a gamble.

You don't have him now anyway.

Frank.

It has to be done, Jan.

Welcome home, darling.

Well, I'm happy to be here.

I've missed you, my dear.

My friend yocum show up?

Frank saw him.

Too bad about the accident.

Yes.

Tuttle told us

they just found him.

How did you know?

I must've heard it somewhere.

I haven't seen you

in so long, darling.

I mean, couldn't we take

a little walk or something?

You look as though

you haven't had

a breath of fresh air in days.

A walk?

Of course.

The exercise will do you good.

Besides, you'll work up

an appetite.

Please, pat.

Oh, but, Janice, surely

it's going to rain.

And besides...

All right, my dear.

Let's take a walk.

Smell the rain coming?

How fresh the air is

before a shower.

You know, Janice,

you were always

a very devoted wife.

Were?

But I still am.

And you've been

a wonderful husband.

Thank you, my dear.

Oh, pat, look at me.

Look at me, please.

What?

Look at me, pat.

You can be free

if you have faith.

Patrick.

What is this idiocy, Janice?

All right.

We can stop pretending now.

You're not Patrick Cory.

You're something evil

living in his body.

But whatever your plan is,

you'll never get away with it.

The experiment's over.

You're right.

It is over.

From now on, Warren Donovan

is a living fact.

There's no further need

for the instruments

who gave him life.

The services of Schratt,

Cory, and yourself

are no longer required.

Then you'll be the one

to go, Mr. Donovan...

Just as you should've

gone weeks ago.

No!

What are you doing?

No!

Let go of me!

Let go! Let go!

Let go.

Darling, are you all right?

Y-yes, Jan.

I'm so glad.

Let's go inside.

Frank!

Surprised?

You forgot, my dear,

that you and Frank

are ordinary people

with limited mental capacities.

You couldn't possibly compete

with a fully developed

and powerful brain.

Thanks to

Dr. Patrick Cory,

Donovan's brain will live,

thrive, and continue to grow

far beyond the body

of Dr. Cory.

It is already able

to exist in anybody,

anywhere at will.

Knowing this,

you now know too much...

So look at my brain, my dear...

Your last look.

I promise you it will

not be a painful one.

Ohh!

Good afternoon, Mrs. Cory.

Is the doctor ready?

He'll be right with you,

Mr. Brooke.

Is he feeling better?

Much better, thanks.

Good.

Um, Mr. Brooke,

what do you think about...

I mean...

How long do you suppose

he'll be gone?

Well, I'm sorry.

It's hard to say.

It depends on whether

there's an indictment.

Well, they do know it was

pat's plan to end this thing

by hooking the lightning rod

into the power supply.

They know that, don't they?

It's all on the tape

recorder, Mrs. Cory.

Of course,

a great deal will hinge

on the decision

of the medical board

as to the ethics

of the experiment

and the validity of the results.

Well, we'll get turned around.

Mr. Brooke

has the valise, dear.

Did you find the files

on last year?

Everything...

All charts and notes.

We're covered on

practically every minute

since we first

started research...

Thanks to you, dear.

Hurry back.

I'll try.

But they can't

blame you... they can't.

Jan, I went into this

with my eyes open,

but it got out of hand,

and I did many foolish things...

Things that made

other people suffer.

I'm only grateful the storm

struck when it did,

and that Frank survived.

Will he be well enough

to help you testify?

I hope so.

Maybe if everything works out,

they can use another

country doctor around here.

No, dear.

You're a scientist

and always will be.

I love you very much.

Let's go, pal.
